Australia

In Australia, BSF supports education and cultural preservation for Aboriginal and Islander communities through two Ideas Boxes, deployed since 2015 in partnership with the State Libraries of Queensland and Western Australia. These spaces promote literacy, transmission of cultural heritage, and intergenerational exchange through educational and recreational activities.

In 2020, BSF installed a third Ideas Box in Wilcannia, a small isolated community of 600 residents near Broken Hill, within the local community radio station. This project strengthens the population’s educational and professional skills, despite structural challenges related to poverty, school dropout, and unemployment.
